        Randy,

        Its the Cisco 'sh ip bgp' format RIBs that we're planning
        to end-of-life, not the MRT format RIBs. Is that still a
        problem? In addition, we're looking at whether we can
        generate the 'sh ip bgp' format RIBs from the MRT format
        RIBs in the event someone has tools that take that format
        as input. 

        One important issue is that rv2.routeviews.org (where
        many of the MRT format RIBs are generated) has a
        different peer set than route-views.routeviews.org (where
        the 'sh ip bgp' RIBs come from).  I'm working on trying
        to regularize those now.

        In any event, please let me know if the end-of-life of
        the 'sh ip bgp' format RIBs is a problem.

        Thanks,

        Dave
